Scott,

<<For one thing I infer from his post that he is employing that tired and specious reasoning (or hustle) that goes something like the following:
1) It was in a book, so it's ipso facto authoritative.
2) It was in old an book. We all know that the older the publication, the more sainted and venerable both the author and the gospel contained therein, so therefore the more true it must be (kinda like the bible).
3) By implication from (2), new information to the contrary is suspect
and probably just wrong.>>

Not so. My old mining professor used to say "Save a company 2 cents a ton on haulage costs and they will pat you on the back, but find them a whole new f*****g mine and see what they will do for you."

As a younger engineer I used to get real tire of people saying we tried that before and it doesn't work, we never did it that way before, or where we come from this is the way to do it. I would love to find a platinum deposit. So would global I think. VBG
